A new disease, called "Poke Easy"
has broken out among the horses in
the Snake river country, which Is
inevitably fatal inside of twenty-four
hours. The animal when first taken
appears dull and lifeless. If bled
and the blood left stand an hour it
settles, and only an inch in quart
measure will show the crimson hue
of the healthy fluid, the rest being
white and mattery in appearance.
There seems to be no remedy what
ever when the horse is once attacked,
and in some cases they die in from
ten minutes to an hour after the first
symptom is noticed. The disease is
entirely new and 'Poke Easy" local
term applied to it, Laramie Boom
